"I don't be lieve you hate him any worse than I do!" Thus it was that hatred a feeling that should not have been tolerated at camp-meeting made better friends of these two girls than they had been for some time before. CHAPTER XX. . HAS TOOTHACHE.

He attended tho day services of the camp-meeting on Friday ami Saturday, nd Saturday evening found him all on Are w ith religious enthusiasm.

So the struggle between good and evil wont on to tho accompaniment of strange sights and sounds which made tho sceno seem fantastic nnd unreal enough, to tho looker-on w-ho took no active part iu it, to be a fragment from a dream "Daar sus a day!" cried Samanthy, in the middle of a hymn, greatly to th surprise of Nannie, who felt sure from tho nature aud tho time of the ejacula tion that her companion, was about to "get the power." "0 my davs!" "What's the matter?" asked Nan nie, - SJnaiBthjr niwrl uh traoth rred groan, for she had pin.eb.ppd tlio lower part of her face in a slum I. "Are you getting the power?" nuked Nannie. "Wus'n that," ansivercd Samanthy, in a sppulchral tone, from the depths of her shawl. "It's the jnmpin' tooth ache. O Lord! When it jumps, t can't kpop my mouth shet. Oh! Oh!" ''Hadn't we better go home?'' asked Nannie. "It will bo likely to keep on aching if we stay out in this dump air." "'e. I reckon we'd better," said Samanthy, "Oh, my goodness!'' with a frantic grab at her jaw, as the reflec tory tooth gave another excruciating twiugo of pain.
